Don't fit a front bar unless you have LSD in it (not the funny mushrooms either...)
Rear bar works well, but can get in the road of the exhaust.

A set of competition hydro rear bumpstops (which the car sits on) will increase the rear roll stiffness and feel similar, giving better turn-in and traction thru corners. Around $71/set. It will sit a little bit higher, though.
Yes, they will fit a dry car- you just need to drill & tap 1 hole in each arm and move the brake pipe a bit. Instructions in kit. p/n is C-AJJ3313. 8)

Yer I did read on Mininfinity website that the front swaybars are of no point. Thats why its painted on nice red and not put on a car yet. EBAY

what is the basic reason for fitting a sway bar to the rear
is it just for race cars

generally for race cars or boy racers... :P
Reduces understeer- you can go a bit faster round corners.. but watch it- the handling is a bit more twitchy! :lol:

so makes the rear stiffer and reduces body roll :?:

There is debate even amongst hardened racers if anti roll bars actually are the best setup unless you are running a monster sports sedan setup with slicks.

For most 10 inch type wheeled Minis I haven't seen any real benefits. Play around with your HiLos, adjustable shockers(Koni), negative camber on the front and back wheels and a decent amount of toe in on the back and you'll get a better handling Mini without adding extra weight to the car!

Rear anti roll bars make Minis handle like rear wheel drive cars so if you are going into Drift competitions you may want to consider one!

I've got a rear anti roll bar sitting here. It was among the spare parts that come with my 1275 LS. It was on the car at one stage, I was told, but the piece that links it to where ever it links it to the suspension on one side is broke. I would say that if I was to put it back on the car, I would get these links remade a bit stronger or redesigned a little.

Guys I was looking for a unit from another car I could fit up to my mini. I was hoping someone had already perfected something.

There is a chap who sometimes competes in the Sprint rounds at Morgan Park (Warwick) that has adapted a sway bar off another car to the front of his mini. No idea what it is off, will ask him when I see him next, may not be till early November though. Can you wait that long? Steve
